A former student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and a onetime government inspector of pub- lic monuments, M. Buzy appeared to divide his time between reading books on architecture and drafting stirring pamphlets to enlighten the citizens of Palmbæuf on such subjects as taxes, 4'.J drains, the need for a war memorial, and silt in the River Loire. On arriving at his house, we would pull the old-fash- ioned bell and wait for a full five mIn- utes. Then the door would open slowly .....' to reveal a Poincare-like figure in skull- cap, black SUIt, and slippers. "A h, la jeunesse! Quelle bonne petite surprzse! Que c' est gentil de venir me voir! Que c' est azmable!" These and similar phrases would be uttered over and over again, until at last we were urged to be F so good as to have the kIndness to give ourselves the trouble of entering for a little moment M. Buzy's }-",ouse was large and full of odd corners and staircases. The floors were bare, unpolished, and uneven with age. In one room was a grand piano with yellow keys, which I was allowed to play. '-'That I liked best was the walled garden, where we would sit sipping a mixture of white WIne and lemonade. To M. Buzy, I was welcome as an ap- propriate audience to whom he could unburden himself of his impatience with the British government's weak-kneed attitude toward the fallen Boche. Al- though I was more flattered by the attention he bestowed on me than inter- ested in the subject, I managed to say enough to stimulate his zeal and draw from him an invitation to come again the next day, at which time I would be further instructed in the matter of France's vital needs with regard to the Ruhr, or whatever. At the request of Papa Chollet, who was delighted that we were received by the acknowledged intellectual of Paimbæuf, M. Buzy used to give Jean and me subjects for essays, which we wrote out in his pres- ence and then submitted to him for correction. Only once did M. Buzy fail to ask us in. Standing in the doorway, he said severely that the day before, Jean and I had passed him and Mme. Buzy in the street, and I had merely lifted my cap an inch or two off my head, instead of doffing it completely. Such conduct was not as was necessary, nor was it nice, polite, gentle, well-brought-up, delicate, refined, or civilized.
